Have Fun And Be Entertained While You Fly On Westjet!

I got to say that Westjet dares to be different and it pretty well amused me to the hilt. My friends in Toronto had cautioned me that I may be struggling with Westjet on my trip from LA but considering the savings of more than a hundred bucks I decided to give it a try anyway.

The seats are not as good as American Airlines but I got to admit the flight was an icredibly enjoyable one. It’s a little longer flight which I hate but the crew and surprisingly also the pilot were great. The captain in his welcome message was pretty out worldly with his remarks and I quote here, “West Jet Airlines is pleased to announce that we have some of the best flight attendants in the industry. Unfortunately, none of them are on this flight!”

While the TVs and Radios are nothing new for me, the farewell with “Please be sure to take all of your belongings. If you’re going to leave anything, please make sure it’s something we’d like to have.” from the stewardess was soberly amusing.

I had my return tickets booked with Westjet itself and it was a nice experience as well as a cost effective one.

Watch this video and check out some of the fun that happens on a typical Wesjet Flight!

Westjet Rewards Program

If you have not found out about the Westjet Reward Programs then you are running a little late in discovering how you could manage to earn while spending. Westjet has two types of reward programs primarily where a flyer can earn 1 % of the amount spend while flying with Westjet back as Westjet Dollars and every Westjet Dollar equals to 1 Canadian Dollar. Alternatively, a flyer can opt to have 0.5 % of the amount spend while flying with the airline that can be used on Westjet Vacation Packages.

The reward programs become exciting for frequent flyers or businesses wherein if someone spends more than 1500 CAD in a year for flying on Westjet, then there is a 2.5 % return as Westjet Dollars or 1 % as Westjet Vacation Packages. If someone spends 3000 CAD in a year on Westjet flights then he can easily get a return of 106 CAD. You can then use the Westjet Dollars for a flight ticket by simply redeeming the rewards.

Frequent flyers can also avail the MasterCard that Westjet offers in conjunction with the Royal Bank of Canada and that can be an even faster way to earn Westjet Dollars. Pretty sweet huh?

Westjet Targets Business Class

Westjet is certainly planning to stretch its wings. In January, it was learnt that Westjet Airlines would be expanding its network and fly to smaller destinations which it had not catered to in a little more than 15 years it has been in the business.

Latest reports suggest that Westjet is trying to woo more business travelers. Westjet is already a name to reckon with when it comes to leisure travelers and with their focused approach to increase their share of business travelers, the Air Canada and Westjet fight is going to get stiffer than ever before.

News has it that the corporate sales team of Westjet has managed to sign up more clients adding to their exist clientele of American Express, Wal-Mart and others. Westjet is going hard with their offers including performance based incentives, travel and third party lounge privileges for the employees of their clients.

Westjet has certainly managed to stay as a low cost carrier with amazing customer service. They have been revamping their fleets and upgrading their in flight entertainment features as well. Can they give Air Canada a further run for their money? Would Westjet manage to stir up another impressive growth story? What do you think?

"Say it With a Smile!" - The Westjet Way of Doing Business

Most of the negative changes in air travel over the years have been due to the result of increased competition in the industry to meet the public demand for cheaper and more frequent flights. From this perspective, WestJet actually doesn't seem much better. Its flights are just as full and common conveniences offered by other airlines such as meals and entertainment are replaced with light snacks and a low-cost style of entertainment on WestJet flights.

However unlike other airlines WestJet has overcome this by recognizing that humour, a positive attitude and a focus on the customer are the secrets to make any experience enjoyable and this has been a proven KEY strategy to their success for many years.

WestJet simply intends to put the fun back into travel as stated by the CEO of Westjet Airlines himself, Clive Beddoe when he launched the company in 1996. His founding vision for Wesjet has consistently been to have flights with more casual flight attendants, more casual uniforms, exceptional service and a great smile on the face of every member of the Westjet team.

Westjet Employees are Owners Too!

Westjet is not only one of the most preferred airlines in Canada and entire North America but is also one of the most sought after employers in the airline industry. Westjet Airlines is the only company that has policies in place where by an employee can become an owner of the company.

Besides offering salaries as per industry standard Westjet has an Employee Share Purchase Plan which allows employees to buy shares and be one of the many owners of the Airline. The shares offer an opportunity to the employees to share profit. Now it is easy to understand why the employees of Westjet Airlines are so ardent not to waste the company’s resources.

WHY do passengers LOVE Westjet?

An airline company cannot simply survive and strive to be the best flying companion if it only manages to offer cheap tickets and miss out on all the other essentials of a flight. Passengers love Westjet for a multitude of reasons.

We all have had an experience when the seat pockets of a flight are more a house of passenger refuse than magazines and newspapers. Many airline companies have in flight entertainments but most seatback TVs either do not function or they do not have enough channels. Westjet Airlines is one of those very few airlines in the world who manage to ensure that little things are taken care of. A smiling flight attendant is a common phenomenon in a flight and it is part of the cabin crew training and job requisite but a flight’s hygiene, passenger’s overall experience and the additional services is what sets an airline apart and Westjet Airlines surely knows how to climb up to become the best airline in Canada.

Their Care-antee policy has given more reasons than ever for passengers to love flying with Westjet. So the real question is who wouldn't  want to access some of the best services at amazingly cheap prices?


So after reading this post do you agree that Westjet is a like-able airline company and are you personally intrigued about the kinds of services they provide?
